Well done Adam,
that's amazing to pick such faint galaxies up from an orange zone.
Their magnitudes range from 11 to 14.


cheers

Nicely done.

I'd also observe an SCT and solid EQ mount is an excellent, cost effective galaxy imaging combination (I used a C11/Losmandy blissfully for many years) that seems to have fallen out of "fashion" but can clearly produce great results. :thumbsup:

Great work Adam. That's a lovely little group, too... haven't seen them before!

Very fine, Adam. Good choice of subject and well taken.
